Men’s rugby one and done ■ Despite a quality performance, the men’s rugby team falls in the first round of nationals In disappointing fashion, the Oregon Club Sports men’s rugby team lost 32-30 in the first round of the Nationals to California State, Chico in overtime Satur day. Oregon senior fullback Bill Terrill said that despite his disap pointment, he was happy with his team’s performance. And Oregon coach Bob Snyder said he was proud of how they played. “All we were told before the game was that we have to make good tackles and not make simple mis takes,” Terrill said. “The coaches knew that we were experienced enough to know what to do on the field.” Terrill said the team played as they planned, but Chico State’s experience prevailed in the end. “Chico State had some advan tage playing against tough oppo nents during the regular season, and I think that gave them a little bit of edge,” Terrill said. “We need to play against tougher op ponents to win the postseason games.” Oregon will lose some quality players to graduation but is ex pected to have an equally strong team next season. “We are planning to play against tougher opponents dur ing the off-season, such as Cal and Arizona,” Terrill said. “Also, we are going to have recruits that have tremendous athletic abili ties. I expect them to win the league again.” Women’s water polo could be headed to nationals Last weekend Washington hosted the women’s water polo regional championship tourna ment for the Pacific Northwest division. Oregon (11-11 overall) and four other teams participated in the event, including Oregon State, Washington, Simon Fraser and Western Washington. The Washington women’s team, ranked 20th nationally, came out on top, followed by the Ducks. “This was their best perform ance that I have ever seen,” sec ond-year coach Lea Bonebrake said. “They played better than my own expectations.” Even though the Ducks did not place first, there is still a chance for them to qualify for the nation al tournament in Arizona, which will be held in May. Their sec ond-place finish might enable them to fill a wild card spot, which the team will find out lat er this week. On Saturday, the Ducks defeat ed state rival Oregon State, 8-4. “It was a great win for us be cause we redeemed ourselves from an earlier loss to them in March,” said Sarah Pullen, a sophomore. Later that day, they obtained their lone loss in the tournament against the Huskies 12-5. Oregon was unable tc catch up to Wash ington’s four-goal run during the first quarter. Sunday the Ducks managed two wins in their games against Western Washington (12-0) and Simon Fraser (9-5). “The win versus Simon Fraser was our best in the tournament because our games are always re ally close,” junior Jen Laudin said. “It was a physical game, but we communicated and worked well together.” The tournament wrapped up the women’s season, which be gan in winter. “For the first time, we were ac tually a team,” junior Carrie Richards said. “I’ve never seen us play this strong.” Nicole Federspiel, Amanda" Dempsey and Richards all con tributed to the team’s powerful performance. The Ducks’ solid effort in the recent tournament was due to their rigorous training schedule. They have been preparing them selves since fall term, practicing an average of nine hours per week. The team will continue to practice twice a week this term for an upcoming tournament in May to be held at the Amazon Pool in Eugene — unless they re ceive the wild card spot in. na tionals. Then they would be off to Arizona instead. Even though the Ducks are not nationally ranked, they were ac knowledged in Scoreboard, a wa ter polo magazine which ranks Oregon among “the best of the Turn to Club Sports, page 10 ► Win $150,000 in Garage.com’s Ultimate Student Business Plan \ Competition — PLANedu.
